DEEJAYS in South Africa make more money and have bigger profiles than singers - at least that's the view of the organisers of the inaugural African Global DJ Awards.
With that in mind, Stronghold Entertainment, Stats Media and Kollertunz have partnered to launch the awards in South Africa. The May 4 ceremony will be held at the Sandton Convention Centre.
Surprisingly, two-time nominee DJ Euphonik said he was "not moved" by the nod (he is nominated in the Best Kwaito or House Music DJ and the Best Southern African DJ categories).
Euphonik, real name Themba Nkosi, said: "I think all awards shows are important as long as they are done with a pure heart and with the aim of improving the overall scene they are awarding."
Tickets range from R100 to R200 for the VIP seats. Six hundred tickets are being sold - with 400 being reserved for invited guests and the media.
